WNBA proposes max salary above $1.1 million in latest proposal to players union
As the WNBA and the league’s players union approach the Nov. 30 deadline for the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, the league’s most recent proposal to the WNBPA includes a maximum salary of more than $1.1 million, sources with knowledge of the negotiation told The Athletic.
WNBA officials informed the league’s board of governors of the latest details of the proposal earlier this week as the league’s owners met in New York City on Monday and Tuesday, sources said. The league’s proposal also included a minimum salary of more than $220,000, with the average player salary more than $460,000, sources said. The Associated Press was first to report the latest numbers.
The league’s proposal reflects a maximum salary increase from a proposal earlier this fall, in which it offered the players union a maximum salary of around $850,000. League officials, including Engelbert, as well as NBA commissioner Adam Silver, have discussed the WNBA’s maximum player salary increasing in the future agreement. The current player maximum salary is around $250,000.
The proposal was made Oct. 29, the day before the players union accepted a 30-day extension offer to push the CBA expiration deadline back from Oct. 31 to Nov. 30, sources said. The two sides are expected to meet Wednesday, the latest in a string of meetings this month.
